Обсуждение: Used computers?
Apologies for a slightly off-topic question ... a friend is overseeing the demise of a company and has several computersthat they need to get rid of. She's an attorney and knows little about them except that they're IBM and cost >$50Koriginally. Where does one go to sell equipment like this, and/or get a rough idea of its worth? Thanks, Craig

You can sell them there, or craig's list.
Here in the UK, we have "Waste electrical and electronic equipment" (WEEE) companies that'll safely destroy or sell themon for a cut of the profits. --- On Mon, 20/7/09, Craig James <craig_james@emolecules.com> wrote: > From: Craig James <craig_james@emolecules.com> > Subject: [PERFORM] Used computers? > To: pgsql-performance@postgresql.org > Date: Monday, 20 July, 2009, 3:29 PM > Apologies for a slightly off-topic > question ... a friend is overseeing the demise of a company > and has several computers that they need to get rid > of.

I googled "buy sell used ibm" and came up with several, like: http://www.usedserversystems.com/used-ibm-servers.htm You could check with them and see what they are selling for. (And maybe what they'd buy for) Also, there is always ebay. -Andy

We've done business with Vibrant technologies (http://www.vibrant.com/)...they specialize in buying/selling used IBM gear. It's a lot less hassle than ebay... merlin
